That is only true if you do not like where it is right now
Many of our Forum members go crazy for and have paid as much as double the going rate of a shooter for a Smith & Wesson revolver that some NY gunsmith named Jovino chopped on.
Or those that were cut down and reshaped by a guy named Behlert
Just because it is not as it left the factory does not mean it is worthless.
Obviously it is not a original collectible, but if it is in a configuration that you like and/or have a use for, then it is easily worth $500 - $800 depending on condition
